Keywords:
independent work, foreign language, pedagogical support, higher education, learner autonomy.Abstract
In the context of active transformations in the higher education system, the role of students’ independent learning activity is significantly increasing, serving as an important foundation for the formation of professional competencies and lifelong learning skills. This issue becomes especially relevant in foreign language learning, where the effectiveness of the educational process directly depends on regular practice outside the classroom. This article analyzes the role of the teacher in organizing, methodologically supporting, and assessing the independent work of higher education students in foreign language acquisition. The theoretical analysis of the problem is supplemented by the results of a student survey, which made it possible to identify the main difficulties arising in the process of independent learning and to determine the most effective pedagogical strategies. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the purposeful activity of the teacher contributes to the formation of learner autonomy and improves the level of students’ foreign language proficiency.
